Sinopsis(1)
Vic Dakin (Richard Burton) es un implacable gángster homosexual, incapaz de conmoverse por nada ni nadie, excepto por su anciana madre, a la que profesa un profundo y patológico amor. Vic es el jefe de una banda peligrosa y violenta; nunca ha sido detenido, a pesar de que vive del crimen; colabora con casas de caridad; se codea con la gente más influyente de la ciudad y algún que otro político; sabe guardarse las espaldas y aquel que le traiciona, es automáticamente liquidado. Ahora, planea un decisivo golpe a una fábrica. El inspector Robert Matthews le sigue los pasos (Filmin)

Does Ian McShane cuddle better than Taylor? That’s something only a wily London villain, who doesn’t even perceive the reality of his situation at the last moment, would know. It’s a brilliantly shot heist scene where improvisation forces rawness, with an innovative use of a lemon and the intensifying clash of gangster fish of various sizes with a police duo relying on chutney sandwiches, snark, and an informant network during their fishing escapades. I’m not sure if it was because of his role as a boy lover or his burning expression, as when Verbal Kint isn’t exactly Verbal Kint, but Burton here really reminded me of Kevin Spacey. ()
